[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lem0nHead:
point taken

maybe most people don't "need it" because google already provides a fairly good solution that comes already with Android

I used quotes for "need it" because I'm sure MOST people don't even think about that or don't know which risks the current solution has

If you offered a person to choose an encrypted and unencrypted solution, explaining its advantages and disadvantages (and supposing this person has enough knowledge to actually understand them), I believe most people would choose the encrypted solution

yes, that's a belief, I don't have any data to corroborate it, but do you think differently? why?

the sharing aspect is interesting... if you want to share your data with someone else, a good solution (thinking about security) would be to have the public-key of people you want to share your data and just "sign them up"... google (or any other company) could surely make it very easy to do (without needing to get into technical terms)

or you could share with "everyone else", in which case it would be unencrypted (or, let's say, encrypted however google choose)

the point is that there really have low interest on doing that, because I agree the current solution is "good enough" for 95% of the people... but IMO that just happens because those people are not security-aware

I could say those same 95% people wouldn't mind very much if their browser didn't have HTTPS implemented... or that they click on "accept it" on any security warning they see in front of them

performance cost: I know that, for PCs, that's irrelevant

if you run a double blind experiment, I bet whatever you want you can't figure out which partition is encrypted and which isn't

I doubt it's different for mobile

a 500~600 MHz mobile (ARM/RISC) isn't 3 times slower than a 1500~1800 MHz computer (x86/CISC)

risk of data loss if you forget your password: thank god, otherwise encryption would be useless

that's why everybody should have the option not to use it

encrypted data is much more vulnerable to corruption: no, it's not "much more" vulnerable

most common encryption algorithms work by block encoding

so, maybe you'll lose 512 bits instead vs 1 bit (if it weren't encrypted)

odds are that, if it was a "digital" format (executable, libs, documents, etc.) it would get corrupted anyway

if it was an "analog" format (music, video, etc.) you probably won't even notice it in both cases
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Yes, I think differently - from observation. I'm boring nerd, who constantly talk about some IT stuff, so my friends are aware about many mysterious sides of computers. They understand my motivation, but still this is quite freaky and funny for them that I have to enter password to get access to my computer, that I never login anywhere using someone else computer, that I actually don't know my passwords, cause they're stored in password manager, etc.

They understand problem, but for them cons are simply bigger then pros. I have much more private data than they. I won't forget my password, even if it will be complicated one - they might. And so on, and so on. The same pros and cons have different importance for various people.

What do you mean exactly? Sharing from one Android phone to another?

Yeah, this is some kind of standard for sending private data to someone else, but nearly nobody know about it. Ubuntu (or some tools they use) showed PGP encryption could be very, very easy. Everything is 2 clicks from you and if you will get encrypted file from someone, then you could double-click it and it will be decrypted automatically - it'll be treated as any normal file. You may even not notice it's encrypted.

Maybe you're right. I'm really curious about that :-)

Ok, my mistake.

[HD Mini General] mvdwolf:
I have a problem wit the bleutooth reconnect with mmy car-kit (VW-RSAP)

Everything works fine, and connection works.

But:

if i get into the car, start it, the connection isn't comming up. What i have to do, is hit the top on/off button, and there it is... the connection is being established. If i'm getting out, shutdown the car, the phone is only trying once to reconnect to the network, and gives a antenna with !-mark. Then i have to go to comm-maneger, en shutdown phone, and reconnect phone.. Than everything is fine..

It looks like the phone is in a too deep sleep to accept the bleutooth connection.

Anyone having this problem, and knowing a work around?
[HD Mini General] TCapitano:
Well I've got also a lot of trouble with my Audi rSAP adapter (Paragon) and the MMI: (Hmm, I'm not allowed to post outgoing links as a new member although I just wanted to post a link to my "SAP connection problem" thread showthread.php?t=720724)

Which profile is used if your HD Mini and the rSAP can establish a working connection? Is it SIM Access Profile or is it a Hands-free connection?

From Audi I learned that not only the rSAP-adapter has a built-in bluetooth interface but the MMI has another one (which is automatically deactivated when the rSAP cradle is installed)!

So when I removed my rSAP cradle, the MMI activated it's own bluetooth interface which can be connected from the HD Mini with Hands-free profile (needed to switch of the car and restart again - just like Windows :->).

The main difference to the Hands-free connection of the rSAP-adapter is that the MMI is able to read out the contacts stored on my HD Mini while the rSAP adapter cannot (in Hands-free mode).

So this is currently the only working option for me until I'll get the SAP connection working (HTC has received some logs from the BT-Handshaking so hopefully they can dig something out).

Cheers, Alf.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritable:
Very strange problem. My office computer is running windows xp and the account is password protected (not in a domain, just windows logon) and I can't access the shared folders from my Desire. I've tried with ASTRO and ES File Explorer with no luck. In the same time ES File Explorer can access my home computer's shared folders, which is not password protected.

ES File Explorer do find my office computer, but always says that the user name and password are incorrect.

I have no problem connecting to it with my laptop and my ex HD2.

Hi guys,

I've realized that 99% of the freezes (1 or 2 a week) of my HD2 are related to screen rotation. It happens to me most of the times while seeing photos, but it has happened also in email/sms and dialer.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Any suggestions on how can I try to fix it? (I know I can disable the auto screen rotation :)).

But it's not working. At step 11. it never shows me the Rom Version. Nothing.

I own an iMac and tried this with Win XP via Bootcamp and VMWare Fusion. I have no problem to run Active Sync, the MDA is recognized, no known problems. Expect for the uprade.

My girlfriend has an windows 7 PC, should i try it?

I am at my wit's end and need your help.

i'm sorry for the inconvenience. i know about that bug, somehow the english rom i posted there, has a crc error. either you try the method for non-english roms and install the extrom unlocker and rename the Programme\ folder to Program files\ or you download an english rom from www.xplode.tk, xplode's shipped rom archive. i will exchange that rom for a working one, some time, when i got more time on my hands.

the method with the renamed folder and the unlocker worked.

[TG01 General] Hamido123:
i have used all coocked roms for days and every rom has a huge usage of ram

i think it drains so much ram because of some tosh apps

so i am asking ....would the ram usage be lower if we remove any tosh app

powermanagement for example runs as i think all the time

srry for my bad english :)
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Yes, there is something wrong with memory usage for sure. However, ram usage and rom usage are not linked, rom is storage, ram is for running the rom and other programs, apps and software, when the rom loads, it only loads system files and startup files necessary, so sure, the key lock, power management, and so on is loaded, but nobody has found better tools for the job yet.

Nobody will argue that ram usage on the Tosh is high, but nobody has found a total solution to it yet.

At least, not that i know of
[TG01 General] columbo:
I disabled the start menu using a cab on this forum and use SPB Mobile Shell instead, with Quickmenu as a fallback in case SPB crashes (which rarely happens with the latest version).

Just by disabling the start menu, I gain about 20-25mb of RAM, no joke!

Search the forum for "Arto Disable Start Menu" and you should find it. Arto supplies a few different cabs, depending on what setup you want. I used the cab with quickmenu, but I believe there is one that enables the manila start menu instead.

I am using ffboy's wm6.5 clean ROM, and I run SPB with a custom skin, which usually leaves very little Ram to run apps that need a lot of memory like Opera Mobile 10.

Previously, with the same setup, I used to get around 55mb free on boot, if I was lucky, and that would shrink to around 25mb eventually.

Now I get up to 80mb on boot, even with stuff loading at startup like Swype and SPB Mobile Shell. Without anything running I can get up to 110mb at startup!

Now I can have a nice looking interface without worrying about memory running out. It's like having a new phone!

If you decide to do the same, just make sure you read the advice carefully otherwise you might end up not being able to get at your programs.

EDIT:

I found the page where I saw the cabs. They are in the links near the bottom of the first post.

That works quite well, i haven't decided whether i like quickmenu, htc menu or what yet, but it does save a lot of ram

I believe its also possible to remove the HTC dialer, that would save another 5-10MB ram

[TG01 General] mirolg:
for you, in english!
[TG01 General] columbo:
I think I just installed an english version on top of the other one and it worked fine. I can't remember exactly what I did, so please forgive me if it doesn't work straight away.

Let me know if installing the english version doesn't solve it, and I'll try to work out the exact process.
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Thanks for that

I tried it for a while, sadly i find the text size on the menu way to small for me, so i had to go back to the Uzeb Start Menu which leaves me with 71Mb free ram on boot, its a shame there are not more alternatives

Another way you can save some ram is to use S2U2 slide to unlock instead of using the built in windows screen lock, even though its small savings, S2U2 defiantely uses less ram, so you can save maybe 4MB
[TG01 General] ALcAtRas500:
s2u2 eat's more ram than the installed screen lock....
[TG01 General] Hamido123:
most of the replies are offtopic

what i was asking for was a rom without toshiba apps because i was thinking that the ram usage is so hight because toshiba apps need much ram...the services and dll are not as optimized as htc ones....

couldn we replace most of the toshiba apps?
[TG01 General] columbo:
Off topic??

You were looking to save RAM usage, yes? Personally, I think 20+mb is a big saving and a lot for a start menu to be using, especially given the fact that SPB MS3.5 uses less than that for the entire program. I was sharing something that had helped me make my phone run very well and was hoping for a bit more gratitude.

Oh well, I guess you can't please everybody...

Is there any specific reason that causes you to suspect a problem with the Toshiba apps in particular, and which ones do you have concerns about?

[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yes we really need work on this project!!!

Our devices have very low ram atm, for a WM compared to others. I am not very technical when it comes to ROM building but it seems with every rom we use, 6.1/6.5/6.5.5 are they all based on the original stock Toshiba ROM?

The problem we face is like Hamido123 says is that the toshiba apps are constantly running in the background. Could we perhaps flash a entire normal build of WM?

There is a member with a Toshiba IS02. Maybe he has an improved ROM from Toshiba which doesnt use too much RAM. Is it possile for us to get a copy of his ROM then flash to our device, with some conversions?

Edit-

I used Android for almost 2 years and loved it. After having used WinMo for the past month or so, I've realized Android is not all it is cracked up to be.

I'm not 100% sure what biotouch is (it's for finger scrolling, right?), but I'm pretty sure you don't want it with 6.5. I've never used it; 6.5 has native finger scrolling that's better than anything in 6.1. My recommendation is to just dump it.

I was wondering if it's possible to disable the cache of the Start menu icons.

I'm using SPB mobile shell, so technically I never see the Start menu, but it's still

there, and the icons are eating my RAM. Unfortunately, SPB doesn't have any access to this cache, so the icons still have to be loaded. SPB menu is linked to the Start menu, so if I delete the links from /Windows/Start menu, they disappear from the SPB menu.

Is there any way to disable the cache?
